Answer 1

• The temperature at which a liquid boils and turns to vapor i.e. changes its state at atmospheric pressure is called the boiling point of the liquid.
• The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid and the liquid changes into a vapor
• The boiling point of a liquid depends on atmospheric pressure
• The boiling point of the particles is based on the structure of the particles
